Officer Frank Robertson, an NOPD spokesman, said an arrest warrant has been issued for William Bell in connection with the shooting that took place around 11 p.m. in the 1900 block of Jackson Avenue. Robertson said Bell, 31, still was at large as of 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Police said a 30-year-old woman reported getting into a verbal argument with Bell, who she said threatened to retrieve a gun and return. About an hour later, the woman said Bell did return and fired a shot at her.

The woman was grazed on the shoulder by the bullet, and drove herself to a hospital in Jefferson Parish where she was treated and released, police said.
